    Pretty wicked. Predator front ends are horribly ugly should be a massive improvement when its done.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the finished machine. I like these quad to trike conversions. The only thing that scares me is all those welds on the tripple clamps.

    interesting project! I love these bikes, guessing its going to be a retarded hardcore machine if you get the suspension geometry and fork rake just right!
